Introduction

The T-28 Trojan has relieved the AT-6 as a training aircraft and was used by US Navy as prestage for the F-86 Sabre.The version of the Flying Bulls is a T-28B of the model year 1954. The Flitework T28 mini convinces with stable flightcharacteristics and superior speed range. This model has reinforced carbon wing stringers to get it very stable duringspeed flight up to 110 mph.

Attention please!Remote controlled model planes are not a toy! For assembling, flying and servicing such models, you need a highgrade of technical comprehension and liability. Careless assembling and operation may cause personal and materialdamage.Because the Flitework GmbH has no influence on assembly, RC installation, operation and servicing of the flightdevice, any liability is rejected under explicit advice to these dangers.

● Take care, that you are familiar with your transmitterand all electronic components, used in your plane.

● Take care of all safety instructions of tools, which areyou using to assemble this model.

● Only take glues, which are recommended for thespecific materials and which are approved for modelbusiness.

● Before assembling please check all parts of this kit. Ifsome parts are missing or have a mistake, please call.

● The symbols on the package show you, that themodel and its accessories should not be put to waste.All electric and electronic parts should be deposed toplaces of waste manage-ment.

1. Your T-28 Mini should not be considered a toy, butrather a sophisticated, working model that functionsvery much like a full-size airplane. Because of itsperformance capabilities, the T-28, if not assembledand operated correctly, could possibly cause injury toyourself or spectators and damage to property.

2.You must assemble the model according to the instruc-tions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing somay result in a unsafe or unflyable model. In a fewcases the instructions may differ slightly from thephotos. In those instances the written instructionsshould be considered as correct.

3. You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-classcondition and a correctly sized engine and compo-nents (fuel tank, wheels, etc.) throughout the buildingprocess.

5. You must correctly install all R/C and other compo-nents so that the model operates correctly on theground and in the air.

6. You must check the operation of the model beforeevery flight to insure that all equipment is operatingand that the model has remained structurally sound.Be sure to check clevises or other connectors oftenand replace them if they show any signs of wear orfatigue.

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, youshould fly the model only with the help of a competent,experienced R/C pilot.

8. While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normaluse, if the plane will be used for extremly hight stressflying, such as racing, or if an engine larger than onein the recommended range is used, the modeler isresponsible for taking steps to reinforce the hightstress points and/or substituting hardware more suit-able for the increased stress.

Flitework qualityWe, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality kit and instructions, but ultimately thequality and flyability of your finished model depends on how you build it; therefore, we cannot inany way guarantee the performance of your completed model and no representations areexpressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your completed model.

Remove the color from the glueing areas by sanding theparts carefully. For hidden areas you can use a glasspencil, which you can get from the stationery store.

If you put the parts together with 5 min. epoxy glue, takecare for a correct alignment. Fix the parts with pins untilthe glue is setted.

Attention!!Never take CA glue for EPO, because this glue causesdamages to this material. Always take epoxy glue.

If you use to much of epoxy glue, the glue is oozing outbetween the parts. You can remove this glue, using acotton stick.

Before you glue the tail unit to the body, it is very important, to hook in the elevator linkage. Use the third hole, awayfrom the flap.

Afterward you can glue the complete unit to the fuselage, looking for correct aligment. Take care, that the lower part ofthe rudder meets the fuselage at the center. Put also epoxy glue there. Fix the unit with pins until glue has hardened.

Adjust the elevator linkage so, that elevator flap and servolever are in neutral position as shown in the picture. Theposition of the clevis should be the third hole from oterside of the servo lever.Take care, that the prong of the clevis snaps correct to theopposite side.Additional you can fix the clevis with a small shrinkingtube, provided in this kit.

Elevator Ailerons

+/- 5mm +/- 7mm

In the following picture you can see a possible placementof the compnents like receiver and battery. To have noproblem with the CG, you should place the receiver asbackmost as possible.

For connecting the ailerons you can use the includedV-cable.

If you like experimenting with flaps or you like ailerondifferentiation, it would be better to connect each aileronservo to a separate channel.

5cm

The CG is located 5cm behind the joint of fuselage andmain wing. Especially small models require a correct CGto have good flight performance.

During the last few moments of preparationyour mind may be elsewhere anticipating theexcitement of the first flight. Because of this,you may be more likely to overlook certainchecks and procedures that should be per-formed before the model is flown. To helpavoid this, a checklist is rovided to makesure these important areas are no over-looked. Many are covered in the instructionmanual, so where appropriate, refer to themanual for complete instructions. Be sure tocheck the items off as they are completed(that's why it's called a check list!).

● 1. Check the C.G. according to the measure-ments provided in the manual.

● 2. Be certain the battery and receiver aresecurely mounted in the fuse. Simply stuffingthem into place with foam rubber is not suffi-cient.

● 3. Look for a correct position of your receiverantenna or antennas. The antenna shouldnot be ´close to other wires inside the fuse-lage.

● 4. Balance your model laterally as explainedin the instructions.

● 5. Use threadlocking compound to securecritical fasteners such as the set screws thathold the wheel axles to the struts, screwsthat hold the carburetor arm (if applicable),screw-lock pushrod connectors, etc.

● 6. Add a drop of oil to the axles so thewheels will turn freely.

● 7. Make sure all hinges are securely glued inplace.

● 8. Reinforce holes for wood screws with thinCA where appropriate (servo mountingscrews, cowl mounting screws, etc.).

● 9. Confirm that all controls operate in thecorrect direction and the throws are set upaccording to the manual.

● 10. Make sure there are silicone retainers onall the clevises and that all servo arms aresecured to the servos with the screws in-cluded with your radio.

● 11. Secure connections between servo wiresand Y connectors or servo extensions andthe connection between your battery packand the on/off switch with vinyl tape, heatshrink tubing or special clips suitable for thatpurpose.

● 12. Make sure any servo extension cords youmay have used do not interfere with othersystems (servo arms, pushrods, etc.).

● 14. Secure the pressure tap (if used) to themuffler with high temp RTV silicone, threadlocking compound or J.B.Weld.

● 15. Make sure the fuel lines are connectedand are not kinked.

● 16. Balance your propeller (and spare propel-lers).

● 17. Tighten the propeller nut and spinner.● 18. Place your name, address, AMA number

and telephone number on or inside your mod-el.

● 19. Cycle your receiver battery pack (if nec-essary) and make sure it is fully charged.

● 20. If you wish to photograph your model, doso before your first flight.

● 21. Range check your radio when you get tothe flying field.
